I know, we're on a time delay around here. So, it didn't get posted on THE day, but it is posted TODAY. Living in the present, right?Dads. I thought I knew how that whole thing rolled until Scott became one. I distinctly remember him standing up at church that first Father's Day, Will must've been three months old. We totally had parenthood figured out. I mean, of course, we still do. Ahem.There are so many things to love about Scott, ...

Proof that Clare's slowly, but surely, leaving babyhood behind. Last week, we scheduled the first haircut. Yes, I've been in denial for over a year. But, come on.

If you know me well, you know I love, love, love birthdays. Who cares that I'm 35 - as my grandpa said this morning, at least you get to celebrate a birthday. AMEN to that. We're heading to the pool shortly and then I'm hoping that translates into a family nap.
